FWIW, the new formats are XML based, albeit compressed. in most
theories, this is a good idea for portability.
the old file formats were proprietary, complex and full of ugliness from
20 years of extensions and variations (.DOC was used by MS Word for
MSDOS circa 1985). Yes, I know, MS did their own XML 'open' document
format, not the one everyone else is using, but at least being XML, its
readily decodable.
